| author | version | line-number | content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Three of the settings you [[change in your profile>>doc:documentation.xs.user.notifications.change-notifications-settings.WebHome]] take one value from a list, and this is what each value does. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | == Email Frequency == | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | How often the wiki mails you the events you subscribed to. The default is "Daily", and a period in which nothing happened produces no mail at all. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | |=Option |=When a mail is sent |=What it carries | ||
| 8 | |Hourly|Every hour|The events recorded since the hourly sending last ran | ||
| 9 | |Daily|Every day|The events recorded since the daily sending last ran | ||
| 10 | |Weekly|Every week|The events recorded since the weekly sending last ran | ||
| 11 | |Live|A few minutes after an event|That event, together with any other event of yours that arrives while the wiki waits | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | The three periodic sendings run by default on the hour, at midnight and on Monday at midnight. An administrator changes those times, and the wait before a live mail, for everybody, as described in [[Notification Configuration Properties>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.notifications.configuration-properties.WebHome]]. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | == Details of the Changes == | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | How much of each change the mail carries. The default is "Standard". | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | |=Option |=What the mail shows | ||
| 20 | |Standard|The diff of each page concerned and, where one notification stands for several events, a table listing each of them with its author and date | ||
| 21 | |Nothing|Neither of those, and a "See details" link to the changes in the wiki instead | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | {{gallery}} | ||
| 24 | [[image:email-diff-standard.png||alt="A notification in a mail sent with Standard selected, listing the events it stands for and showing the diff"]] | ||
| 25 | [[image:email-diff-nothing.png||alt="The same notification sent with Nothing selected, carrying only a See details link"]] | ||
| 26 | {{/gallery}} | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | == Automatic Page Watching == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | Whether the pages you work on are watched for you, in the sense [[Watched Entities>>doc:documentation.xs.user.notifications.watched-entities.WebHome]] describes. The default is "Every time I make a major modification". | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | |=Option |=What gets watched for you | ||
| 33 | |Never|Nothing, so you only receive what you chose to watch yourself | ||
| 34 | |Every time I make a modification|Every page you save | ||
| 35 | |Every time I make a major modification|Every page you save without ticking "Minor edit" | ||
| 36 | |Only when I create a new page|Only the pages you create | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | Whichever value you choose, it watches the page itself and not the pages below it, it never watches your own profile, and it ignores the changes made inside a larger operation such as an import or a page move. |
